Carol Douglas
Carol Douglas (born April 7, 1948) is an American singer whose hit "Doctor's Orders" (1974) was a pioneer track in the disco genre.
Early life and acting career
Carol Douglas was born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. She is the daughter of Minnie Newsome, a jazz performer who has been cited as the inspiration for the Cab Calloway classic "Minnie the Moocher"; her father was a mortician. Sam Cooke was her cousin. At 10, Douglas was a contestant and winner on the game show Name That Tune and says "Ebony followed my career for the next three years."
She attended the Willard May School for professional children and afterwards the Quintanos High School for young professionals alongside Gregory Hines, Bernadette Peters, Carol Lynley, and Patty Duke. While in high school Douglas sang in a female trio named April May & June, who were signed as a management client by Little Anthony and the Imperials. She made a one-off recording in 1963 for RCA Victor, cutting the single "I Don't Mind (Being Your Fool)" under the name Carolyn Cooke: becoming pregnant with her first son at age 15 ended RCA's interest in promoting her.

Take Me (make Me Lose Control)
by: Carol DouglasOoh, What a rush
Sweet, sweet kiss, You got that magic touch
Tell my body things it never heard before
Take my soul and give it wings,
Make it fly to distant shores
Take me, Take me
Never, never let me go
Take me, Take me
Make me lose control
Take me, Take me
Let me love you so,
You'll find the joy, Hear it come
Ooh, You're the best
Guess you must be Heaven sent cause I've been blessed
I'm unfolding like a flower in your hands
Help me grow, You got the power
Make me cry, Make me best
Take me, Take me
Never, never let me go
Take me, Take me
Make me lose control
Take me, Take me
Anywhere you wanna go
Take me, Take me
Let me love you so,
You'll find the joy, Hear it come
Take me, Never, never let me go,
Take me...
Thanks Honey. For what? Listenin'.
They say all a woman has to do is sit back and wait
for the right man to come along....and sweep her off
her feet.
And everything was gonna be beautiful.
Well, it wasn't. I found out the hard way.
I've been keeping my passions locked up inside of me...
until i found you.
But now I let my feelings out, let my love bathe you.
Thank you baby, You're all I needed
Take me, Take me
Never, never let me go
Take me, Take me
I never wanna let you go, baby
Take me, Take me
